One step ahead. Thus, the concept of "playing it"- its all a joke. EVERYTHING. Media, life, career, philosophy, religion, whatever. So, I play it, for none of it is worth taking seriously.
THe Metrics collected from the inspections are then used to generate trends. One of these metrics is "time spent reviewing materials." (at least it is in our process). Also, the metrics of bugs found in the field. If more and more bugs are found in the field, inspections aren't working.
I never knew why they collected that "Time spent reviewing" metric. However, your example of 120k sloc in an evening explains to me why.
For me, it's time to follow through on last year's New Year Resolution of writing more C.
Why? So you can hang yourself in a web of pointers to pointers to function pointers?! I wrote a kernel queueing system in C, and had every intention of writing clear and understandable code. Got-damn was it a mess of for and while loops!
And even with the use Strict pragma, I'm getting convinced more and more that Perl is a Read-only language. You are either a PERL programmer 100% of the time, or you forget everything you used to know about Perl when you switch away for long periods. These days, if I need text parsing ability, I'll use awk.
Programmers by the balls, hmmmm, Oh! You mean I'm not a MANAGER yet! Gotcha! No, I'm not. I actually create things and add value. But as soon as I cease to produce anything of use, I'll most likely be leading the team.
Aren't inspections supposed to be the catch-all for crap programming? Again, if your inspectors are morons, then the whole thing is shot.
That assumes you have reasonable timeframes. I've worked on projects to get Demos out the door. Informal use of some XP ideas (coding in pairs) and tight, fast iterations of Coding,integration and test, coding, integration and test, repeat, which have showed some promise when deadlines are tight.
If you followed the Child's Play updates on Penny Arcade, both Gabe and Tycho were quite fearful of the the strange people with the cameras (read: your average geeks).
Yes- they did not play this in the slightest. As such, they got what they deserve- web notariety within the circles who already know them, and jack-shit from the rest of the world.
Same here. And that part-time job that I was grossly underpaid for? Yeah- That got this EE a Software Engineering gig that he is enjoying to this day. Viva la "work experience."
Gee, to drive a car, you need to be technically competent. If you don't change your oil, change your windsheild wipers, and go in for maintenance occaisionally, your car will become crappy to use, and eventually die.
Is it your cars fault that you can't maintain it?
That was the argument I was trying to make to the parent of my response- he said " yeah, those HPs, they suck." But if its virii and malware that are plugging them up, is that the hardwares fault?
And windows is brain dead. Put it behind a firewall (uhm, there's one built in to XP, or get a linksys box. Ta da!), run Adaware occaisionally if you chose to run KazAa. DONE. If that counts as technically competent, then YES. You do need to be technically competent. Same with operating a toaster. Or a spoon.
I've got an HP from CompUsa, I've maxxed the heck out if it (max ram, extra HD, PCI cards, CDROM, CD-RW, USB devices out the ying-yang) and I haven't had any issues with it. A couple of XP burps (due to all the USB crap, its slow booting), but no problems.
Your students are dumb. If they can't run AdAware and turn on a firewall then they deserve all they get. All my drivers work like a charm and all my components work together.
Oh yeah- I've run Knoppix on it too- and its tight as a drum (that means good).
That's right, E-mail is the best way to advertise your product. IF you send me $300 USD I'll give you a CD packed with email address that have been generated using the latest technology. The/dev/random method is world reknown for unique addresses with no repeats. I gaurantee that they are ALL ORIGINAL email addresses!
And if you act now, I'll send you the/dev/null E-mail address CD at no additional charge!
The sad thing is, that your journal was the impetus for the parent post!
Apparently I'm not paying ENOUGH attention! I just remembered you were excited by all the pre-order interest for a Thai edition LINUX machine, the gov't was all for it, and then WHAMMO, MSFT came in with a deal that couldn't be beat. Beyond that, my mind can't hold small details. I save that for the shiny sex!

Their playlist is the same-old same-old. Listening to it in CD quality won't make it sound any better.
Okay, I apparently forgot to "carry the one."
Indeed- doing the math is harder than it looks.
How does 1.5 gigs equal the 4 GB you claim?
Now, more than ever, my sig applies.
No load funds pegged to an index! diversifying your portfolio! Cost averaging! I'd say mod you up, but you're already at 5.
FOr everyone else, this is sound advice.

Wow, I think I just veered heavily off topic.

I first read scrum as scrotum and said "Finally! Programming with balls!"
Step away from the keyboard, I think its time for a break...

here here. Credit Debt == Bad- pay it off NOW.
Student debt- given that the rates are at an all time low, it doesn't even make sense to pay it off now when you have other debts!
And great point about concurrently paying off the interest- my wife did that through law school, keeping her loans out of the 6 digit range.
Off-topic? Someone's thinking is screwy.
/.!
you must be new here.

For example, announcing that the War on Drugs is destroying this country would be applauded in one circle I travel in...

Ohhh, so you get high, too?!
Boy, do I feel like a chump for getting new CV boots on my '92 civic...

Is it written WORD right to left or letter right to left?
In that case, tokrev()! ^_^
Nah, coding is easy.
What's interesting is if this is just a bargaining chit being used by israel to make MSFT drop thier price, Just like Thailand did!
Use the promotional code "LINUX" and get thousands off your Microsoft installation costs!
